Posted by anonymous | November 17, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

I would not recommend, nor would I use again.

I hired Karen for a personal injury case. At first she seemed caring and engaged. Once she had to start working my case that changed and I felt like I was a bother to her. Each interaction I felt like it was too much to ask for information on my case. She was short with me, would not provide infor...mation I asked for, or would just not answer questions I asked. Her only communication method is email. Calls are not answered. She let my case go so long the statue of limitations almost expired and then a lawsuit had to be filed, when it could of and should have been settled before it came to that. In the end I accepted far less than I should have because I was done dealing with my own attorney. Then the surprise expenses popped up, and she never did provide copies of the bills to substantiate the expenses she claimed to have paid. I am sure the other side is the only one who was happy with her performance. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and I felt she provided subpar representation. In the end, even getting her to hand over my small settlement was a battle, even though she had it in her possession, she kept giving me different dates she would mail the check to me, only to have it not show up, and then be given another excuse why it was not sent. Very unprofessional.

"Karen Halverson is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the State of Washington (and probably the nation), period! Her legal knowledge and passion for the law is what makes her stand apart from the rest. If my life was on the line and I had to call one person, it would be to Karen."

"I highly recommend Ms. Halverson. When I need to refer a criminal case out in Snohomish County, I can refer with confidence to her. She has vast experience in achieving successful results for her clients. She is bright and aggressive. She is a fine litigator."
